Zwicker was an honor roll student at Seneca High School. He was also a member of Mission House of Prayer.

As his family and friends prepared for his funeral, the questions surrounding his death are continuing to mount. His body was found in a ditch behind Liberty by some students. The school is in the same neighborhood where Zwicker's mother lives.

Police suspect foul play, but have not made public any information about a potential motive. And they've not labeled anyone a suspect or person of interest.

Zwicker's family and the community are struggling make sense of it all.

"It's just so sad," said Tara Zwicker, the victim's aunt. "Everybody is so overwhelmed but everybody has come together, pulled together and we're all being strong for Trey."

"It impacts the psyche of the community, because people think, 'How do I safeguard my child's world?'" said community activist Christopher 2X.

Jefferson County Public School students were allowed to attend the funeral if they are checked out of school by a parent.

"Just know that you never know when it's going to happen," said Terry Zwicker, Trey's father.

Metro police had a noticeable presence at the funeral, offering security and much-needed support.

Other community members who've suffered similar losses also offered support to Zwicker's family.

"Our hearts go out to them. We just want them to know that they have our support. Anything in our hearts we can do, we'll be glad to do it. All victims feel that way," said Mark Allen Hampton.

Donations to the Trey Zwicker Memorial Fund are being accepted at any PNC Bank branch.
